About

I joined the University of Wolverhampton in January 2015. Previous to this I held visiting posts at two universities whilst writing-up my PhD.For my research I used ultrasound imaging to measure the age-related performance of the deep abdominal muscles in addition to extending a tissue-engineered model of skeletal muscle that mimicked the conditions from the ultrasound work.I have presented the results of my research to peers at both national and international conferences.

At the Institute of Sport I teach on undergraduate modules in biomechanics, exercise physiology, and research methods and statistics. I am the module leader for 4SR027 ‘Research Skills for Sport and Exercise Science’ and 5SR032 ‘Work Placement for Sport and Exercise Science’.
